Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Plugable Performance NIX Video Game Capture Card 1080P 60FPS with USB C & USB 3.0 - HDMI Passthrough for Monitoring. Windows, Linux, macOS Compatible. OBS Streaming Ready! by Matthew Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent capture unit for the money

I use NIX capture unit on Linux. I'm really happy with its recording performance. When streaming with OBS, the CPU usage for streaming is acceptable and the overall streaming quality is really good. There is a color difference between 30 and 60 fps, unfortunately I'm not sure which one is correct as I'm using a very crappy LCD TV connected to a loop-through connection. Both look good during gameplay (through pass-through) and when capturing. No amount of video filter work could make it 100% the same. I've tried all the recommendations on the NIX product page and found everything here on Amazon reviews. Both look good in my opinion, the shots look good and the flows are fine. The recording unit itself has an excellent build quality. All-metal construction of the case, but most importantly, the connectors are very durable when plugging and unplugging cables. The connections on my elgato HD Game Capture were weak and eventually the mini USB connector detached from the circuit board rendering it unusable (this is a known issue). I don't expect this to happen with NIX. Also, the packaging looks professional and the box is well secured inside. Overall I am very very satisfied with my purchase. And the price was so tempting that I had to try it.
